The exact impact of the additional tariff will be only known after a notification is issued by the Trump administration, said exporters. Indian exporters are already reeling under the impact of the steep 50 per cent tariffs imposed by the US. Trump has announced that any country doing business with Iran will have to pay a 25 per cent tariff on its trade with Washington, a move that could impact Tehran's major trading partners such as India, China and the UAE. Exporters' body FIEO on Tuesday said domestic firms are complying with all sanctions related to trade with Iran, but a clear clarification on Trump's announcement that countries trading with Iran may face a 25 per cent tariff would help asses the impact of the warning.

US President Donald Trump has said he settled tension between India and Pakistan after threatening the two countries with 350 per cent tariffs and claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called him to say we're not going to go to war. Trump has repeated the claim over 60 times that he helped settle tension between India and Pakistan in May this year even as India has consistently denied any third-party intervention.

Japan's economy sank at an annualised rate of 1.8 per cent in the July-September period, government data showed on Monday, as President Donald Trump's tariffs sent the nation's exports spiralling. On a quarter-by-quarter basis, Japan's gross domestic product, or GDP, or the sum value of a nation's goods and services, slipped 0.4 per cent, in the first contraction in six quarters, the Cabinet Office said. The annualised rate shows what the economy would have done if the same rate were to continue for a year. The fall was still smaller than the 0.6 per cent drop the market had expected. A big decline during the quarter came in exports, which were 1.2 per cent down from the previous quarter. Some businesses had sped up exports, when they could, to beat the tariffs kicking in, inflating some of the earlier data for exports. On an annualised basis, exports dropped 4.5 per cent in the three months through September. Imports for the third quarter slipped 0.1 per cent. Private consumptio

Honda reported Friday that its profit for the first fiscal half through September fell 37 per cent from the previous year, as the damage from President Donald Trump's tariffs offset the lift from solid motorcycle sales.

US President Donald Trump used tariffs as a diplomatic tool to "buy justice" and had urged India to stop buying oil from Russia to help end the Ukraine war, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has claimed. Lutnick made the remarks in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, defending Trump's use of tariff powers as the Supreme Court heard arguments on its legality.

"The president is using these taxes to buy justice; he is using the tariffs to end the war in Russia and Ukraine, where he has told India 'stop buying oil,'" Lutnick said, adding that restricting these powers (IEEPA) would weaken Trump's ability to make "the world and the US a safer place." Expressing confidence, he said that the US President will win the case because "these powers protect America". Trum
